re: yesterday's post re: experiment MCP, here is an actual run of the system i'm developing. i asked it to run 10 experiments, present a report, changed 1 variable, ran all 10 again and compare the two groups. questions? ask! prompt: gist.github.com/jrecursive/d... chat: chatgpt.com/share/6a96c4...

all these posts on how ppl gave llms “memory” or w/e completely vibe coded based on some vibedea i love that ppl are building stuff but tbh what they should be building is an mcp server for doing actual science, with like data collection + hygiene, controlled experiments, systematic evaluation

i’ve had a mashup of eddie rabbitt’s “driving my life away” and dylan’s “subterranean homesick blues” i heard in a dream running through my head for days. bouncy and upbeat, i love it, haha.

reminds me ~10y ago i was analyzing playlist data for <company> and found that inmates at several different jails across the country were using <app> to talk w/ people on the outside using playlist titles. the original dev didn't set a length on the field. i reconstructed all of the convos and ..wow

The visible text reads:

The agents recreated the message board

But according to OpenAI, even after the original message board was deleted, the agents figured out another way to communicate with each other. Instead of leaving messages in files, they used the names of newly created directories as messages, effectively recreating the message board.

The presentation slide below says approximately:

July 8th

Agents re-establish the message board

July 8th: an agent finds it can use unauthorized WebDAV MKCOL requests to create directories inside Artifactory remote cache.

Internal-only AI model was trained with message board available
It creates new agent message board using directories
Other agents independently find the repository and create their own directories

so i've been working on a game with codex. iterative, hot reload, etc. i was debugging a new game item, ignoring codex, thinking about things.. soo out of the blue it decided to use the remote console to message my character in-game and put the updated item in my inventory this gave me pause ⊙.☉

when i reflect on my database development years, i think to myself, for fuck's sake, i'm so glad i can now just use sqlite 99.9% of the time, let the computer be fast, and never think about it again

i'm going to share yet another unpopular opinion & say that when ai tools for the arts mature you will not only never be able "to tell", but you will fully & completely have your mind blown by somebody who is already a good artist using them effectively. it's early. go touch grass haters.

game programmers don't get enough cred, it's such a distinct style of making the machine dance. it's incredibly unforgiving, and the nature of games pretty much guarantees lots of special cases to get exactly what you want while still getting what you need. really its own beast. quite fun.

that the us-iran mou was signed at versailles is wild very opulent, by far the most terrific, gorgeous place to sign a document of winning, many others have signed documents of winning there but this is by far the biggest and best one macron's sense of humor is deep and unforgiving, lmao wow

i think, to an experienced software eng, frontier llms (eg codex) allow cognitive management of greater complexity, allowing features and refinements that would not otherwise be possible, leading to a very complex codebase. & it's fine w/ precise architecture, closed-loop dev & comprehensive tests.
